How beautifully and thoughtfully he writes of the emotions.

I would have to say that I am fascinated by them as well, and always grateful when I see someone learn to manage and understand their own emotions better, and reach the sort of comfortable integrity he mentions. They are, after all, what they are. It’s what we do with them that matters. And how it matters.

They give us information and without self-awareness and understanding of emotion, we are inutterably lost … without rudder or anchor for the most important decisions in our life. I’ll have to get this book and read it.
